Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Set in 1978 Boston, an illegal arms sale goes way wrong when a previous encounter between minor henchmen from each side causes a spontaneous eruption of gunfire. This black comedy is a wild "shootout at the O.K. Corral" with bullets blazing with Stormtrooper blaster accuracy & ricocheting within the confines of an abandoned warehouse where you use anything for cover. Brie Larson & Armie Hammer are weapons brokers representing each side, the IRA & the gun dealer (Sharlto Copley). It's nearly 90 minutes of bullets, bickering, & betrayal in this deadly game of survival. There are only flesh wounds in the beginning but the body count slowly rises as the wounded crawl & limp their way to stop their opponent. You may like this quirky action flick if you like your humor dark as you try to guess if any will be leaving the warehouse alive.

Alien gives it 3 "messy madcap Mexican standoff" stars out of 4.
